Swimming with the cats

Swam this morning in the endless pool, nothing much exciting happened, but the cats are getting more and more brave about standing around the edges while I am swimming. At first they wouldn't come close while the propeller was turning, then they would hang out during warmup, but take off when I cranked it up for the main workout. Today I noticed them a few times sitting on the edge staring at me while I swam. Of course as soon as they saw me notice during my breaths on that side, they would turn away like "I'm not watching you". When I got bored, I would try to flick some water their way without losing momentum which isn't easy when swimming into a 2.4 mph current.
